Brake Safety Inspection Week Starts September 7th

The annual Brake Safety Inspection Week starts September 7th and runs through September 13th. Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance says it expects more than 30,000 brake inspections to take place during the week, which would be a 50 percent increase from last year’s estimated 20,000 inspections.

There’s a number of different things that CVSA stated they’ll look for. On their official website, CVSA says inspectors will look for “brake-system components to identify loose or missing parts, air or hydraulic fluid leaks, worn linings, pads, drums or rotors and other faulty brake-system components.”

Below, you’ll see CVSA’s Operation Airbrake Inspection codes, the inspection code ID’s and the complete procedure according to the website. This will help get you completely prepared for Break Safety Inspection Week that starts tomorrow.
